Mr. Raspano
can enterococcus be cured if first treatment didnt work?
Hi,
You did not state which treatment failed. I had the same thing in June of 2010. I currently have a fistula between my prostate and rectum.
The enterococcus was found after a urine sample that was taken after I conplained about symptoms of a UTI.
My family doctor at the time prescribed me Cipro for several weeks. I assume that things cleared up.
Just recently in the last week I have noticed problems again. I have the urgency to urinate even with an indwelling suprapubic catheter. I also experience discomfort in the bladder area penis and region between the scrotum and rectum. Given the fact that I have a fistula it is likely that I have come down with another infection.
I'm scheduled for a cystoscopy next Wednesday and will inform the urologist about this. To try and get this under control for now, my famliy doctor prescribed antibiotics today.
If enterococcus is found again, I will let you know. Hopefully they will tell me the course of treatment if this is the case.
